Just listening to Buffalo Theater 1979-01-20 - not a great Dark Star, but it is the first time I have heard Garcia try to whip out the Wes Montgomery type double stops.
He almost pulls it off and he has some other very jazzy runs in the song, though he is slightly out of time with the rest of the band.

Can anyone point to some other examples of Garcia hitting double stops like this?

I don't think there is any double stops in it, but the 12-18-73 Eyes of the world... well.. I listen to it now, and I still think it sounds like a different GD to me. I always want to voice my feelings about this eyes of the world, and I am always looking for a better one.. but I think it may be the best. Total jazzy riffs by garcia.. and some nasty rhythm by weir.. and some nasty drumming too I might add.. oh and some nasty phil soloing :)

Have you listened to that one?

Actually I haven't, which is weird cause I thought I had every single '73.
Yes, I do have it. Going to listen right now.

I love Eyes in all of its permutations. Always a great vehicle for jazzy riffing.
DS -> Eyes is a great combo.
I wonder how many there are.
Knowing this bunch I'm sure I will have an answer the next time I check back.
